If Lord Voldemort was real (not fiction) and he'd be...

My answer:

Karl Rove!

getting at. They are both very evil people. But Lord Voldemort is young, and good-looking, and a LONER. He operates by himself as much as possible. Rove is none of these things.
That's my take, anyway...


:shrug:

there's several neo-cons that could be Voldemort

LOL...I thought..oh wait, you know what I thought!

NEXT!

That bastard was politically "dead" several times, but he kept coming back. And he was evil to the core.

I have been thinking for years now that the era through which my 15-year-old daughter has been growing up has striking parallels to the early years of baby boomers like me. For her, the 1990s meant accepting the most magical change as utterly routine. First -abracadabra! - came the Internet and then the World Wide Web. Suddenly unseen wizards conjured up cell phones the size of candy bars, palm computers smaller than a paperback book, and music players not much bigger than credit cards. These, I realized, were all end-of-century echoes of my mid-century and its television, birth control and travel to the moon.

Come gather 'round people

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you have grown

And accept it that soon

You'll be drenched to the bone.

If your time to you

Is worth savin'

Then you better start swimmin'

Or you'll sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changin'.

- Bob Dylan, 1964

Our children have used magic wands all their lives, raising and lowering the volume on the story boxes that they watch, controlling the narratives. It's uncanny, the way they can intuit what technology wants.
